2015 (54th) GAMES

Saturday 20th June 2015

“What a fantastic day we had on Saturday – for the second successive year we had glorious sunshine on the park, and what seemed like a bigger village turnout than ever. A big thanks from the committee to all who took part this year, from the Chieftain’s procession to the decorated shop windows, garden and scarecrows – this is what community spirit is all about! Thanks to our 2015 Chieftain and famous ‘Lesmahagow Lass’ Jackie Lockhart (4 times Winter Olympian in curling, representing Team GB), Tartan Queen Rhea Hood, Princesses Brooke Sharkey & Charlie Wilson, and Clansmen Curtis Smith & Jamie Fletcher - we hope you all had a great day. The Lesmahagow Games is the only one remaining in South Lanarkshire, and now offers free entry to all – this year we had many overseas visitors from America, Holland, Germany, and even a ‘stag party’ group from France taking part in the heavyweight events! The RSPBA pipe band contest, highland dancing and sideshows completed the line up for what was a great day out on The Glebe – if you’ve not been before, put next year’s date in your diary – Saturday 18th June 2016. Many thanks for a superb team effort from the committee, and to all our key sponsors and supporters – we couldn’t do it without you”
